CURTAIN=POLE BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 664,845, dated January 1, 1901.

Application filed December 30, 1899- Serial No. 74:2,074. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH ERMOLD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hazleton, in the county of Luzerne and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Curtain-Pole Bracket, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an adjustable bracket for curtain-poles, one object of the invention being to provide a bracket capable of supporting the rolling curtain and also the lace curtain or other drapery usually employed upon the inner side of the rolling curtain.

Another object of the invention is to provide an adj ustable-bracket by means of which one width of curtain can be made to fit varying sizes of windows, inasmuch as the bracket can be extended or contracted to compensate for the difference in the width of the window.

\Vith these objects in view the invention consists in the peculiar construction of the various parts and in their novel arrangement and combination, all of which will be fully described hereinafter, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming part of this specification,Figure 1 is a View showing the bracket attached to a window-frame, a portion of the rolling curtain being shown and also a portion of the pole intended to support the lace curtain or other drapery. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of that portion of the plate which is intended to be attached to the window-frame. Fig. 3 is the adjustable member adapted to support the end of the curtainroller. Fig. 4 is a sectional view showing the pivotal connection of the members of the bracket, and Fig. 5 is a sectional View showing the manner of locking the adjustable parts.

In constructing a bracket in accordance with my invention I employ a plate A, which may be of any suitable length and size, said plate being secured at one end to the windowframe A. An angle-plate A is fastened upon the inner side of the plate A and is adapted to rest against the face of the window-frame. The free end of the plate A has an opening A through which passes a rivet B, by means of which the other members of the bracket are connected to the plate A. The member C, which supports the curtain-roller, consists of a plate essentially the same thickness as the plate A and slotted longitudinally at O to receive the rivet B, and this plate is also bent at right angles, as shown at C said angle end having an opening 0 intended to receive the journal or pintle of the curtainroller D.

The pole-supporting member E is slotted longitudinally, as shown at E, to receive the rivet B, and the members 0 and E are also adj ustably connected by means of a bindingscrew F and nut F. By means of this screw and nut the members 0 and E can be adjusted longitudinallyas desired and then looked securely in their adjusted positions, and by means of this adjustment any variation in the width of windows or size of curtains can be compensated for. The member Eis bent outwardly, as shown at E and this outwardlybent portion also carries a pole-support E at its outer end and in which the pole G is adapted to rest. I

It will thus be seen that I provide an exceedingly cheap, simple, and efficient construction of curtain-pole bracket capable of supporting both the curtain pole and the roller -curtain and one in which variations between the width of the window and the curtain can be readily compensated for.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a device of the kind described, the combination, with a plate adapted to be secured to the window-frame, the outer end of which is provided with a pin, of two longitudinally-slotted members on the plate, one end of each of which is bent laterally, said ends extending in opposite directions and forming supports, the pin on the plate projecting through the slots in the members, and a screw through the slots, a nut on the screw, the head of the screw engaging with one member and the nut with the other for clamping the members together in their adjusted positions, substantially as described.

2. In a device of the kind described, the combination with the plate adapted to be secured to the window-frame, and having an angle-plate arranged upon the inner side of the same, of the angular curtain-supporting member and the pole-holding member, submember slotted longitudinally, the angular stantially as shown and described. pole-supporting member slotted longitudinally and having a pole-support at its freev JOSEPH ERMOLD' 5 end, the rivet for connecting the plate and Witnesses:

supporting members, and the binding-screw H. J. OWENS, and nut for securing the curtain-supporting J. A. BLEASSELBEY,
